Do you realize they're sunsetting Antigtavity IDE? The Antigravity 2.0 they demoed is not an IDE

No it doesn't. Look at artificial analysis.

But it's very competitive and significantly faster

Lol Ive admitted im a google employee, not hiding my bias.

Most things aren't worth commenting on except the gemini posts here, which I find insane.

And pretty much every example you gave Id expect quite a lot more for 2x the amount? Idk man

People can be and often are wrong.

You'd notice how good Opus is in Claude Code. IMHO CC is the secret sauce

What did you say? Cant hear you over the $400B in capex spend.

Counterpoint: price will matter before we hit AGI

The binary you draw on models that havent been out a quarter is borderline insane.

Opus is absurdly good in Claude code but theres a lot of use cases Gemini is great at.

I think Google is further behind with the harness than the model

Neither are cars but Ill take a Porsche over a Ferrari for a fraction of the price.

Everybody is subsidizing their prices.

But Flash is 1/8 the cost of sonnet and its not impressive?

Googler. We use GPUs, but its a drop in the bucket in the sea of our accelerators. We might sell more GPUs in Cloud than we use internally.

These are not data driven observations just vibes

People underrate Google's cost effectiveness so much. Half price of Opus. HALF.

Think about ANY other product and what you'd expect from the competition thats half the price. Yet people here act like Gemini is dead weight

Update:

3.1 was 40% of the cost to run AA index vs Opus Thinking AND SONNET, beat Opus, and still 30% faster for output speed.

I'm sorry but this is an insane take. Flash is leading its category by far. Absolutely destroys sonnet, 5.2 etc in both perf and cost.

Pro still leads in visual intelligence.

The company that most locks away their gold is Anthropic IMO and for good reason, as Opus 4.6 is expensive AF

3 Flash is criminally under appreciated for its performance/cost/speed trifecta. Absolutely in a category of its own.
